2019 has literally begun with a bang for Vicky Kaushal as he goes all guns out in his first release of the year, 'Uri: The Surgical Strike' While it's also his first attempt at action. The film pays a heartfelt tribute to the Indian Army who bravely conducted the surgical strike on Pakistan as a form of retaliation against the attack on soldiers at the Uri camp in Jammu & Kashmir in 2016. Definitely a story worth to be told and brought to the big screen. In fact, the critics seem to be quite impressed with Vicky's performance in the film which is all about evoking the feeling of patriotism or like how Vicky screams in the film, 'How is the Josh?'

Considering Uri The Surgical Strike has everything to create an impact on the audience, we asked Vicky on how did he prepare for a challenging role like and whether he drew any inspiration from any of the actors or war films and he said, "I don't think I looked actor to prep for this role. This is more about emotionally reacting to the scene or situation as a character in the film. But subconsciously, you are always inspired by many war films; with my all-time favourite being Border (starring Sunny Deol, Suneil Shetty, Akshaye Khanna) which is somewhere ingrained in all of us. Then there is Savind Private Ryan, a Hollywood film which was very well made, one of my favourite war films. So somwhere all of this subconsciously in your head when you are growing up but you try yourself to give a fresh take on it."
